After dressing as a widow

What Lin Zhen said to him did not avoid people. Seeing his posture of being serious to the end, the crying old lady Gu froze for a moment.

The official yamen is too far away and too frightening for ordinary people like them. When they go to the town to go to the market on weekdays, they will hide away from the yamen servants wearing robes on the road, fearing that they will accidentally provoke them.

But the old lady Gu was not reconciled, she looked distressed, and pointed at Lin Zhen with trembling fingers: "You are so vicious, not only did you not let me see my son, but you also dragged his old mother to the government, folks! Take a look, this is not for a daughter-in-law, I wish my old Gu's family would break up, so that I can take over my son's property."

The rest of the Gu family were also afraid when they heard that they were going to meet an official, but with the old lady Gu rushing forward, they became a little more courageous.

They didn't believe that Lin Zhen would really trouble them by ignoring Gu Da's funeral. If they didn't need to do anything, everyone in the village would talk about him behind his back.

Lin Zhen hooked the corners of his lips coldly, and said loudly: "Everyone has seen it, it's not that I haven't persuaded them, it's that they want to hit my knife."

He looked at Gu Shuanzi in his arms: "After I get the paperwork from back then, I will go to the government office with them to clear it up, and then I will arrange for Shuanzi's father's funeral."

As he said, he carried Gu Shuanzi and was about to go to the house to get the documents. Mr. Gu, who was only standing behind and watching, hurriedly asked Gu Er and Gu San to pull up the old lady Gu, and angrily used it like an elder. The cane in his hand poked the ground: "The family is unlucky! The family is unlucky!"

Lin Zhen slapped him across the eye, and he immediately became dumb, and ran away in a despondent manner with the Gu family. When he ran, the spoiled and unlovable child scolded his mother together.

The villagers looked at Lin Zhen standing there, feeling a little numb.

Although old lady Gu and old man Gu treated Gu Da a little too much, but Lin Zhen's attitude of really going to sue them in court also makes people mutter.

It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized, what he did is really...

Lin Zhen didn't care about the gazes of these people, as soon as the Gu family left, let people continue as usual.

From the banquet to the banquet, the work that should be done, by the way, let me tell everyone that I will be a little tired tomorrow, and I would like to ask everyone to help carry Gu Da up the mountain.

And another group of people who followed Mrs. Gu's family walked up to Lin Zhen, their eyes turned red before they could say anything.

Lin Zhen knew the identities of these people from Yuanshen's memory. They were Yuanshen's father, brother and sister-in-law, and they lived in Liyu Village, more than ten miles away from Datianzi Village.

It took at least one morning to walk from there, so the feet of the few people were covered with mud, and the bottoms of their trousers were also dirty.

"You don't ask anyone to tell you about such a bold thing. If you didn't happen to meet someone from your village when you went to the market, your father and I would still be in the dark."

"You say you make people sad and sad."

Seeing that the thin middle-aged brother couldn't hold back his tears, Lin Zhen hurriedly said: "I was too busy to remember things... Dad, Dad, come and sit down, drink some hot water first." Soup warms the body."

Father Yuanzheng said: "Go and do your work, no need to say hello, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it after tomorrow's business." After speaking, he took his family to find an empty place to sit.

I have to say that Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief because of what he did. He was so busy that he didn't realize that he had completely forgotten that the original body also had a family.

But fortunately, compared with the Gu family, the original family's natal family couldn't be more worry-free.

The banquet was held until four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and when night fell, there would be no one left in the yard except for the gentleman who came to do things. After all, this is not like modern times. There are cars and lights, and it is convenient to go anywhere. Everyone wants to Go back before dark, so as not to meet any bad guys on the road.

Lin Zhen changed into a pair of clean socks and shoes, and carried the clean quilt to the right wing.

Liyu Village was far away, and it was dangerous to travel at night, so the Lin family stayed behind.

Zhou Tao and Ma Shi stayed with them, and they were placed on the same bed where Gu Da and Lin Zhen were sleeping. Lin Zhen made the bed for them first, and then came to greet the Lin family.

As soon as he walked in, the quilt in his hand was taken by the sister-in-law of the Lin family: "Brother Zhen, please sit down and rest for a while, I think you look a little bit bad."

Lin Zhen felt embarrassed, there is no way to let the guests do it.

But Father Lin next to him directly pulled him to sit on the bed, his voice was a little hoarse: "Your sister-in-law is right, I think you look ugly as soon as I came here today, we are a family, and we don't pay attention to those vain manners."

As he was talking, Father Lin burst into tears, and tightly held his hands in his hands: "You child, it really breaks people's hearts. Father has persuaded you before. Although this Gu Dawei is not a bad person, , but it's not your beloved, but you insisted on getting in."

"Now that he's gone, you're alone with a child, how can you make it through?"

The family background of the Lin family is ordinary, and the original body Lin Zhen has been proud and arrogant since he was a child because of his good looks, and has always wanted to use his own face to marry into the landlord's house in the town.

Unexpectedly, as he got older, his pregnancy mole, which symbolizes his brother, became weaker and weaker, causing his dream of marrying a rich man to be shattered. After all, at this time of many children and many blessings, no one wants to marry one Brother or daughter-in-law who can't have children.

But he was unwilling to ask him to be a concubine for those who could be his father.

So at the age of 16, knowing that the young master of the Qian family in town was passing by the village, he tried his best to roll the haystack with the young master of the Qian family, and he was so fascinated by the young master of the Qian family that he would not marry him. Worry and the Qian family's dislike entered the Qian family's house.

But the wife of the Qian family was not a vegetarian either, she gave her son a maid today and a concubine tomorrow, and finally kicked Lin Zhen out with the reason that she had nothing to do for a year.

Lin Zhen, who was forced to go home, was used to living in Qian's house, stretching out his hands to eat and opening his mouth. Naturally, he couldn't bear the poverty of the family, so he turned around and hooked up with Gu Da again.

But Gu Da is a shrewd person, big money will never fall into his hands, but small money will keep coming.

If Gu Da had been fine, Yuanshen's life would be considered easy.

Lin Zhen grew up with his grandparents in modern times. When he was in junior high school, his grandparents left one after another, so he was not used to Lin's closeness.

He moved his fingers and said, "Father, it's all right."

"Look, I'm fine now, don't I?"

"What's the matter?" Aunt Lin looked at his flushed eye sockets and bloodshot eyes, "you saw Gu Da's parents today, they are just messing around and unreasonable, and you will inevitably be tossed by them in the future."

"There is also the child left by Gu Da," Father Lin said earnestly, "Really, it's not that mother doesn't love children, it's because there are many people around him."

"Even if you are innocent and don't want anything from him, in the eyes of others, you only raised him because of Gu Da's family property. It's fine if the child is obedient and gracious, but what I'm afraid of is raising a white-eyed wolf. I will give you the bitter fruit to eat."

There are too many such examples, and few stepson and stepmother end well.

Lin Zhen was easy to talk about when he was young and strong, but sad when he was old.

He said it sincerely, and it was really for Lin Zhenhao.

Lin Zhen's weird feeling of being cared faded a bit. He looked into Father Lin's eyes and said, "Father, in fact, since Gu Da died, I have thought about how to do this matter."

"After much deliberation, there is a solution. In a few days, I will find out all the silver at home, deposit it in the bank in the town, and make a note with Shuan Zi. I don't want any of this money. It's all his money." What father left him is that he is young and ignorant, and the bank notes for withdrawing money are temporarily kept by me or other trustworthy people, and will be handed over to him when he grows up and starts a family."

His approach is the modern one. The money is kept by relatives and friends before the children are minors, and all the money is given to him after the children are adults.

However, it was beyond the expectation of the Lin family that this matter was done by him. Father Lin patted his hand in a daze, and said with relief: "It's good if you can think like this, the child will lose his father at a young age. It will only be more sad if you don’t have money by your side.”

They were talking in the house, but they didn't notice a small figure standing outside the house at some point.

Gu Shuanzi listened to what his step-father said, and tightly clenched his hands beside him. He quietly left from the wall of the wing room, and returned to the main room as if he had neither heard nor seen anything.

He felt that his step-father was very strange. He had done a lot of things that disgusted him in the days after his father's death, but he completely changed overnight.

At dawn the next day, the helpers in the village ate a meal of multigrain rice steamed with sorghum rice and rice, and carried Gu Da's coffin up the mountain amidst the mournful sound of gongs and drums.

Lin Zhen, who had been busy for a few days and didn't close his eyes properly, sent off Father Lin's elder brother and sister-in-law, and fell asleep on the bed in the dark.

When he woke up again, his mind was dazed, looking at the gray sky outside, his head slowly pushed forward like a dung beetle, it was still so early, he could sleep for a while.

The next second, Gu Shuanzi's aunt came in with an apron around her waist and a handful of clean chopsticks in her hand: "His aunt, please get up and have some food, he has been lying down all night and even the whole day, don't worry about it." Lie down and break your bones."

It was dark when he lay down yesterday, and Ma Shi said that he lay down for a whole night and a whole day, so it will be evening now!

Lin Zhen lifted the quilt and got up, put on the shoes on his feet: "I'm tired, you take care of me."

"What's the matter, this is my nephew's house, not outside." Ma Shi said, and went to the main room with chopsticks.

Lin Zhen spread the quilt on the bed, went to the pot in the stove to wash his face and mouth, and then tied the loose hair on his head into a high ponytail.

Gu Shuanzi, who was going to serve food in the kitchen, saw him and called him in a low voice, "...it's time for dinner."

After Gu Da was buried, he took off his sackcloth, and was wearing a dark blue cotton robe and trousers, and a pair of cotton shoes on his feet.

Gu Da loves him, and buys him good things. The cotton is well used and looks warm.

Lin Zhen nodded: "Come on."
